Here are some of the topics they have blogged about (language warning at the first link!):

Veiled protest as race-hate Muslims are jailed: The photo of protesters telling the police to go to hell, as a police woman stands there protecting their freedom to protest tells the whole story.

Former Mosque Leader Warns Britain Top Target for Extremists: "A former imam, or mosque leader, has warned that extremists are aiming to establish Muslim Sharia law in the UK - and that Britain has become the world 'number one target' for Islamic strategists."

Bombers Welcome To Stay: "The men who tried to bomb London and Glasgow will be allowed to stay in Britain at public expense indefinitely even if they are convicted of terrorism offences, according to a report issued today."

Eight Al Qaeda fanatics working for the police: "Up to eight police officers and civilian staff are suspected of links to extremist groups including Al Qaeda. [...] Astonishingly, many of the alleged jihadists have not been sacked because - it is claimed - police do not have the “legal power” to dismiss them."


For those of you who may not be aware, freedom of speech and of the press is very much under attack in the UK. In fact, it may not be accurate to say it still exists. Elements of a certain peaceful religion can advocate violence all day long, and that is okay, but if one dares to openly question the meaning of those violent words, one faces action by the government. It goes far beyond political correctness. At least, that is what I have come to understand by reading some blogs from over there. I believe it may be true, and that may explain the above disclaimer.

If you, dear reader, have some information on that topic, please enlighten me with your observations.


While you're out and about, check out Dope OpenTrackback Weekend over at Angel's blog. This post makes some excellent points, and, as usual, Angel makes the points with humor.

One of the things touched on is the desire in some circles to legalize drugs. They say it will stop drug crimes.

My question:

Why is it that drug-related crime can only be stopped by legalizing drugs, but gun-related crime can only be stopped by outlawing guns?!

By the way, Angel is a very classy blogger. She answers comments left on her blog with a thank-you for the visit (unlike Yours Truly -- sorry), and she's very good about visiting the blogs of those who visit her.

This is a hint for the UBA -- link to Angel and visit her often! ;)


Elsewhere, The Dhivestan Report is always a good read (don't let the top post in Arabic deter you).

Death and the Maiden tells you all you ever wanted to know about torture.

Chronicles Magazine has an excellent article by Dr. Trifkovic entitled Kosovo: Back to Square One, although for some reason it seems to have gone stealth on us.

Here's an interesting read: Gun owners, so you want to defend yourself??? over at Right Truth.

And, coming up soon here is Mirror, Mirror, a multi-part posting that will be the latest installment in the Gotham City series (see sidebar). Future installments beyond that will include The Detective and The Counterconspiracy.
